Installing the mains power carrying fork (MCF)

Only for a mount fitted on the end carriage

This section only applies if the installation situation allows a mains power carrying fork to be fitted on the end carriage and the enclosed square tubes are suitable for this purpose.

 

If necessary:

Mount	Ribbed end cap
Shorten mount to required length

    Remove the ribbed end caps (2x) from the mount.

    Shorten the mount.

The required length is determined by the on-site conditions in the building and the safety clearances from the crane drawing.

    Reinsert the ribbed end caps (2x) into the ends of the mount.

 

 

Threaded bracket
Mount		Pipe clamp

    Attach the mount to the end carriage on which the crane panel is installed.

    Bolt the mount onto the threaded bracket.

Threaded bracket	Tightening torque
M8	25 Nm
M10	50 Nm
M12	75 Nm

    Slide on the two pipe clamps and secure them.

 

 

If necessary:

    Remove the ribbed end cap from the square tube.

    Shorten the square tube.

    Reinsert the ribbed end cap into the square tube.

 

 

Vertical square tube

    Move the vertical square tube to the required position on the mount.

The required length is determined by the on-site conditions in the building and the safety clearances from the crane drawing.

    Screw the vertical square tube onto the mount using pipe clamps (2x). Tighten to 15 Nm.

 

 

For more than one vertical square tube:

	Horizontal square tube
Vertical square tube

    Attach the horizontal square tube with two pipe clamps to the vertical square tubes.

The horizontal square tube can be a single square tube or a part of the current collector on the mains power supply.

    Tighten the pipe clamps (2x). Tighten to 15 Nm

 

Only for a mount fitted on the main girder

This section only applies if the installation situation allows a mains power carrying fork to be fitted on the main girder and the enclosed square tubes are suitable for this purpose.

In most cases, the mains power carrying fork is installed on the main girder.

 

Horizontal square tube	Main girder
Vertical square tube	Clamping claw

    Screw the horizontal square tube onto the main girder using clamping claws. 15 Nm.

    Screw the vertical square tube to the horizontal square tube using pipe clamps. 15 Nm.

 

Installing the current collector

Only if a current collector is fitted on the mains power carrying fork

This section only applies if the mains power carrying fork has been fitted on the main girder.

 

Carrying fork	Pipe clamp
Pipe clamp	Vertical square tube

    Screw the carrying fork with the current collector onto the vertical square tube with pipe clamps. 15 Nm

 

Fitting the receiver

Only with ABURemote

This section only applies if the underslung travelling crane has a ABURemote radio remote control.

 

Square tube	Cross-type limit switch
Clamping claws	Receiver

    Fasten the square tube to a suitable point using clamping claws.

    Fasten the receiver to the square tube using pipe clamps (2x).

When doing this, make sure that there is visual contact between receiver and transmitter.
